A Happy Birthday

9 April 2012

Dear Family!
     Hey, how is it going back home?   I only have a minute to write.  We were doing service all day
today moving the sister missionaries to another house (the roof started falling in on theirs 2 days ago),  so we spent all day over in Monsefú moving them.    I have an idea to send home a few pictures and a couple videos so let me know if it works.  They will be in a zipped folder so you will have to unzip it on the computer, but let me know if it works for future reference. 
     OK , I now have all the packages, I think.  I got 3 in one day and then one the other the week
before.  I have my visa.  If you could activate it and put some money on it I would appreciate it.  I don´t have time to do it today.

     This week was good,  just work like normal.  We didn´t do anything too special.  For my birthday, we had a quick little party in the Pension as you saw.  I am trying to include a few more pictures and a sister is going to come by the house this week with a package for you.  Thanks for all the birthday wishes from facebook and from you and dad and the fam.  I appreciate it.
      How are things back home?  I was sad that Polly died.  She was our bird for a really long time.  I am glad she wasn´t here because when animals die here, they eat them.  I don´t have any new
stories this week.  We have officially "whitewashed" our area.  We dropped all but 3 of our old investigators and now have 15 or 20 new ones that we are working with.
      I am going to try and include this video file for you but it's distinctly possible that it won´t work.  We will see.  I appreciate all the food, but I don´t need so much!  haha!!   I appreciate it but my pensionista has more than she knows what to do with.  Tell Ken and Grandma that I appreciated their package.  I got the mp3.  Thanks for it!!   I have greatly enjoyed the change in music.  (I did
delete a bit of the music but not Marty Robbins or John Denver or Johnny Cash. Thanks!!)  My birthday was good.  I had 3 separate cakes from different members so I am gaining a bit of weight back... and tell Matt he got fat.(haha just kidding... but not really...)

Thanks!!! I love you all.
